Hebrew Benevolent Congregation Temple, Atlanta

This red brick sanctuary was built in 1931 by noted local architect Philip Trammell Shutze in classic block style. The Flemish bond pattern of the limestone and cement-stucco structure is dominated by a dramatic drum dome, which is easily visible from a distance. In addition to being a popular landmark, the Temple as it is popularly known, is a keystone of Atlanta's Jewish community, and it organizes many programs aimed at encouraging understanding and cooperation between different religions.
